Transmission is a simple to use BitTorrent client, with a clean and simple interface that values elegance and minimalism above all. The code is open to anyone who wishes to participate and contribute to the project.

The creators intended Transmission to be a functional and effective program and it seems they’ve succeeded: it consumes a lot less memory than other similar software, and allows more space on your computer. Moreover, Transmission integrates seamlessly with your operating system thanks to its incredible interface, making it the perfect Torrents program.

How does it work?

There’s no mystery to it: Transmission works like any other Torrent client you’ve ever used. Once you find the file you want to download (via websites like KickAss Torrents, for example), you just need to open it with Transmission, or download the magnet to make the process even quicker. You’ll be able to see how the download is progressing, and the number of seeds available, so you can stay on top the status of active downloads at all times .

Interface

We can access an overview of all torrents or just take a look at those that are active or downloading. You can also pause a download at any time if you want to shunt another item ahead of it in the queue.
